Once you’ve installed it, Password Alert will show you a warning if you type your Google password into a site that isn’t a Google sign-in page. This protects you from phishing attacks and also encourages you to use different passwords for different sites, a security best practice.

The script scans and repeats every 5 milliseconds; you will not even see the banner. Better to enable two-factor authentication for a more robust protection scheme.
